You have some beautiful pieces there. I can see you painting happily away on the town for a very long time. It is a joy watching the gaming table evolve. OUTSTANDING WORK!

Wowww! It really looks nice when put all in one place! Awesome terrain! And that Realmscape is indeed looking like a good base for your own terrain pieces.

Thank you very much.
Workshop: Construction of the 'Ruins of Mordheim' modular table, part 91
I didn't have much time for hobbies last week, as even this late post can prove.
Despite everything, I managed to tidy up the workshop in the attic a bit and created space on the floor near the desk for table modules, thanks to which I will be able to reach individual elements much easier and faster.
Before painting, I still need to add rubble and make the door and a few details.
Papa Nurgle does not give up and blesses us with new plagues.
Despite this, I managed to spend one evening in the attic and build the footbridges and stairs visible in the photos below, as well as several ladders, which I used to visualize the model of the granary.

The ladders & the rickety walkways are wonderful additions. VERY WELL DONE!

Last week, the city gate gained a gate and stairs leading to the walls.
The gate was closed for the purposes of the photo, but ultimately I will not mount it permanently, leaving the possibility of opening and closing it as needed.
I built the gate from wooden strips and coffee sticks, balls from a water filter and an aluminum plate.

VERY NICELY DONE! The gate is impressive.

I got a little carried away with the carpentry using coffee sticks and, in addition to the doors and shutters, I also made moldings inside the rooms, mangers in the stable and a few other details, including stocks.
The module goes on the shelf and waits for the next stage in which I will add some rubble and other garbage, and then paint.

I also am a fan of coffee stirrers. You certainly have mastered their use in detail work.

On Thursday, I published an entry on the blog as part of the Miniatures Blog Carnival and presented The armed pack of the Mors clan for Warheim FS, and gluing the models took me the last few free evenings, so nothing new has appeared in connection with the mockups.
Today in the photos below you can see what the selected modules from which I built the table on which the witch hunters clashed with the Middenheim company look like.

It looks quite SPECTACULAR with all of the piece together. OUTSTANDING WORK!

As a break from valorizing building models and as an excuse to gain some time to glue the miniatures the Raubritter from the Border Princes, I decided to build three wells.
Wells placed on different bases will be scatter terrain that can be placed, depending on needs, on various modules of the Mordheim ruins table.
For construction, I used elements collected in the workshop: clay bricks, wooden strips, a paper clip, sand, self-hardening clay, balsa wood and copper wire, and for gluing I used wood glue and cyanoacrylate glue.
***
I started building the well by drawing circles on the bases marking the boundary of the well.
For construction, I used clay bricks cut into trapezoids and glued with wood glue.
I filled the gaps between the bricks with self-hardening clay.

The wells look WONDERFUL! They will work well with the rest of your terrain. WELL DONE!

I decided to cover the ready circles of the well with wooden roofs, which I used appropriately cut wooden pine strips and coffee sticks.
I aged and slightly damaged the cut pine strips 3x5 mm, then drilled them with a hand drill, and in the holes I placed a crank shaft (made from a toothpick and a paper clip) that would pull out a rope of water (made from twisted copper wire) and beams on which I would later place the roof.
